Scandal surrounds Alexander Tsekalo.

In the world of Russian entertainment and business, Alexander Tsekalo has made a significant impact. Known for his successful production company, Sreda, Tsekalo has also navigated the complexities of personal relationships.

In January 2008, Tsekalo tied the knot with Vera Brezhneva's sister in a private ceremony. This marked his third marriage. The union came after Tsekalo left his second wife, Victoria Galushka, for artist Darina Ervin. Galushka, 24 years younger than Tsekalo, had been his partner for 10 years prior.

Tsekalo and Galushka raised two children together, Alexandra and Mikhail. Despite their divorce, Tsekalo maintains a good relationship with his children. They often visit him in the US and spend time at his house in Beverly Hills. However, Galushka has initiated legal proceedings against Tsekalo for child support.

Tsekalo's current partner, Ervin, is his "person" and the love of his life, a sentiment he has expressed publicly. Interestingly, Tsekalo has an unwritten rule for meetings with his children: they are not allowed to mention their mother.

Meanwhile, Tsekalo's professional life continues to thrive. In 2024, his company, Sreda, earned 3.8 billion rubles by filming popular Russian TV series, with a net profit of 907 million rubles.

Notably, Tsekalo's former home on Rublevka, which he left for Galushka upon their divorce, was sold last year for 430 million rubles.

In a surprising turn of events, Philipp Kirkorov's ballad "A Little Sad" has been transformed into a rock anthem in the style of Linkin Park. While the connection between this musical adaptation and Tsekalo's personal life is unclear, it adds another layer to the intrigue surrounding the prominent figure.

Despite the public scrutiny, Tsekalo emphasises that Ervin stands out more than his ex-wife, who is still remembered as the "sister of a pseudo-singer". This statement reflects Tsekalo's current focus and the new direction his life has taken.
